House Prices Index and Annual Increase (%)

Source: Halifax.

1983 = 100.

Next update due 7th October 2019.

With effect from August 2019 figures, MarkIt, who administer Halifax's House Price Index, have altered the criteria to improve the accuracy of the figures. These new figures cover 13 months and the criteria used will be updated on an annual basis.

abacus are showing the new figures but are currently retaining the historic figures, going back to 1983, for reference purposes only. Please do not compare the table shown with the historic tables available at the bottom of the page.

The annual change calculated by Halifax is an average of the latest three months compared with the same period a year earlier. These figures provide a better picture of the underlying trend compared to a monthly year-on-year number as they smooth out any short-term fluctuations.
